Male Bellydancer PRINCE ANDREW - "Dead Can Dance" Bellydance

[dancingzira]

Wow, this guy is graceful and masculine and absolutely fantastic!

[ShabanuSL]

absolutely amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[molarmama5]

I totally dig' dead can dance', and as you choreographed one of their pieces----------

FANTASTIC! YOUR MOVEMENTS ARE GENIUS!

[WolvenDance]

You are absolutely amazing--combining two of my favorite things: bellydance and the wonders of Dead Can Dance. Keep dancing, you are wonderful.

[PrinzAndrew]

@WolvenDance Yes, DCD inspires impassioned movement.  ;o)

[WhatTheHell5000]

I wish I could belly dance

[PrinzAndrew]

@WhatTheHell5000 The desire to dance creates the passion to learn!

[georgeNconrad]

I loooooooooooooove the stomach flutters. I practice those daily and hope one day I can get them to look this good.

[molarmama5]

I can not believe it my favorite "Dead Can Dance" piece set to Indo fusion and beautifully executed! Like a dream that came true. I was wondering how that music could work. WONDERFUL!

[ThatGypsyBoy]

Im a male bellydancer and i find that although theres a lot less men doing it, every single guy ive seen perform has rocked the stage.

love the waistcoat as well

[22Booban]

odlično!

[KaySilverfurr]

Very well executed, and to a beautiful song none-the-less. There seems to be this beautiful blend of Indian Traditional, Belly Dance and ATS styles of dance, so bravo to being able to do that fusion of all three.

[PrinzAndrew]

Thanks, Kay. Yeah, I'm a fusionist all the way. I guess I'm a past-life Roma...integrating the cultures together. When I won a championship award at the "Bellydancer of the Universe" competition years ago, it was for the first year they had the "Fusion" category. Any surprise that was my category? Ha!

[KaySilverfurr]

Have you been making more of a move towards Indian Traditional? Seems like alot of your videos are leaning that way now with the Shiva dances and the Durga vrs. The Demon. I have to say, it's interesting to watch because it's like watching a story being told through hands, which is also what persian-style dance does as well.

I'd been thinking of taking some classical Indian and trying a fusion blend, but I'd best get a solid grounding in Egyptian Cabaret first. :-P

[PrinzAndrew]

I have been doing both dance styles since my youth.

So, in these shows in Canada and Spain, I was doing some items that were purely classical Indian, some various bellydance, and some fusion.

Yes, Bharata Natyam has a weatlh of hand mudras that are used for both "pure dance" as well as to tell stories in dance dramas. It is originally a temple dance and the stories were typically spiritual tales to inspire devotees.

Yes, it's good to get grounded in one before taking on another! :o)

[TheCrazynissOfAll]

P.A Very good-keep at it and I love your interpretation very nice-taught quite a bit myself and few men take an interest

Nice to see a very strong interpretation-nice take on it. I would like to see some more with break-with the knees instead of the slides....as I think it could look a bit more tribal and it would be very good also. Like the durga positions with more mudras-but not too feminized at all-good stuff-keep it up I will ck more out...

[PrinzAndrew]

Thanks! This performance is from a few years ago, so, my dance keeps evolving into new expressions all the time. Glad you liked the interpretation of this one. ;o)

[mfinleyjackson]

there are many male belly dancers, but i believe you are with out a doubt the best

[AestheticUniverse]

Phenomenal and unique. Bravo.

[ZaynahZihoa]

Man, you are supercute.

[xXNeXxMoXx]

im in love with this vedio .....he is so talented .... would like to know where did he learn bellydancing :D

[PrinzAndrew]

Thanks for the positive comments.  I studied bellydancing in high school for my physical education class. It was a very alternative school and we had many interesting classes. Over the years I have studied with many different teachers in workshop settings and studied classical Indian dance as well.

[vinyatag]

Muzyka jak i taniec...ŚWIETNA.

Klimat muzyki ...zamknięty w tańcu.

[duckman444]

Absolutely amazing ! you really put us learners to shame lol , your the best male belly dancer ive ever seen.

[mayibellydancer]

Great!!, perfect!!!

[jadedraven1366]

very impressive! I didn't think a man could do that...as for whoever said that women do it to "show off"...using the skills you have dedicated a portion of your life to learning isn't showing off (unless maybe your doing it in a very inappropriate place :-)

[LASERPENTA]

He's fucking HOT!

[andrestorm20]

amazing control and grace definitely one of the best

[nikkiefreak]

You're the first male belly dancer I have ever seen. Thats amazing!

[Bluddykiss]

Very very sexy....

[mayrami212]

Shakira move over!!!! great!!! increible!!!!

[Saraculture13]

Wow, you are amazing. May I even say... a little better then the female bellydancers? A lot (but not all) of them today just dance to show off and look skanky. Bellydance is an artful form of dance.

[dogrnr1]

Eiiiiiiii Carrrrrramba - I couldn't take my eyes off ... most excellent

[skyecolispeedo]

U are a true snake chramer

[skyecolispeedo]

Wow!love it!u are 100 times better then Rachel Brice.Bravo Price!!

[sphinxdiva]

I've been fortunate to have watched many Prince Andrew performances live, and he's incredible! Not only is he a phenomenol dancer, but a really nice person.

[anagrama74]

[daisukekuroneko]

[nejsret]

[TheCircusFolk]

That was a wonderful performance. Obviously you have talent. Great song choice too!

[blueCobra2]

One of my favorite songs by DCD. Impressive dance.

[igogua]

what is the name of this song?

[PrinzAndrew]

Thanks! This song is "Indus" by the awesome group Dead Can Dance.

[lizdaqueenbee84]

woww that was fantastic!!!!

[3rifily]

Love the spreading feet at the begining! Very impressive torso tech... not so sure about the "dynamics" of the moves... a bit too fast/agressive for my taste! But GREAT JOB!

[Fikarrajaii]

Dude!!! You AMAZE ME!!!!!!!!!

[theeskallywag]

Wow! Your core and quad strength are amazing!
